1 Kings 5

And Hiram
<02438>
king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>
sent
<07971> (8799)
his servants
<05650>
unto Solomon
<08010>_;
for he had heard
<08085> (8804)
that they had anointed
<04886> (8804)
him king
<04428>
in the room of his father
<01>_:
for Hiram
<02438>
was ever
<03117>
a lover
<0157> (8802)
of David
<01732>_.
{Hiram: also called, Huram}
And Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Hiram
<02438>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
how that David
<01732>
my father
<01>
could
<03201> (8804)
not build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
unto the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
for
<06440>
the wars
<04421>
which were about him on every side
<05437> (8804)_,
until the LORD
<03068>
put
<05414> (8800)
them under the soles
<03709>
of his feet
<07272>_.
But now the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>
hath given me rest
<05117> (8689)
on every side
<05439>_,
[so that there is] neither adversary
<07854>
nor evil
<07451>
occurrent
<06294>_.
And, behold, I purpose
<0559> (8802)
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
unto the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
unto David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thy son
<01121>_,
whom I will set
<05414> (8799)
upon thy throne
<03678>
in thy room, he shall build
<01129> (8799)
an house
<01004>
unto my name
<08034>_.
{purpose: Heb. say}
Now therefore command
<06680> (8761)
thou that they hew
<03772> (8799)
me cedar trees
<0730>
out of Lebanon
<03844>_;
and my servants
<05650>
shall be with thy servants
<05650>_:
and unto thee will I give
<05414> (8799)
hire
<07939>
for thy servants
<05650>
according to all that thou shalt appoint
<0559> (8799)_:
for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
that [there is] not among us any
<0376>
that can skill
<03045> (8802)
to hew
<03772> (8800)
timber
<06086>
like unto the Sidonians
<06722>_.
{appoint: Heb. say}
And it came to pass, when Hiram
<02438>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
that he rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
greatly
<03966>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
this day
<03117>_,
which hath given
<05414> (8804)
unto David
<01732>
a wise
<02450>
son
<01121>
over this great
<07227>
people
<05971>_.
And Hiram
<02438>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I have considered
<08085> (8804)
the things which thou sentest
<07971> (8804)
to me for: [and] I will do
<06213> (8799)
all thy desire
<02656>
concerning timber
<06086>
of cedar
<0730>_,
and concerning timber
<06086>
of fir
<01265>_.
{considered: Heb. heard}
My servants
<05650>
shall bring [them] down
<03381> (8686)
from Lebanon
<03844>
unto the sea
<03220>_:
and I will convey
<07760> (8799)
them by sea
<03220>
in floats
<01702>
unto the place
<04725>
that thou shalt appoint
<07971> (8799)
me, and will cause them to be discharged
<05310> (8765)
there, and thou shalt receive
<05375> (8799)
[them]: and thou shalt accomplish
<06213> (8799)
my desire
<02656>_,
in giving
<05414> (8800)
food
<03899>
for my household
<01004>_.
{appoint: Heb. send}
So Hiram
<02438>
gave
<05414> (8802)
Solomon
<08010>
cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>
and fir
<01265>
trees
<06086>
[according to] all his desire
<02656>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
gave
<05414> (8804)
Hiram
<02438>
twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
measures
<03734>
of wheat
<02406>
[for] food
<04361>
to his household
<01004>_,
and twenty
<06242>
measures
<03734>
of pure
<03795>
oil
<08081>_:
thus gave
<05414> (8799)
Solomon
<08010>
to Hiram
<02438>
year
<08141>
by year
<08141>_.
{measures: Heb. cors}
And the LORD
<03068>
gave
<05414> (8804)
Solomon
<08010>
wisdom
<02451>_,
as he promised
<01696> (8765)
him: and there was peace
<07965>
between Hiram
<02438>
and Solomon
<08010>_;
and they two
<08147> (0)
made
<03772> (8799)
a league
<01285>
together
<08147>_.
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
raised
<05927> (8686)
a levy
<04522>
out of all Israel
<03478>_;
and the levy
<04522>
was thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
{levy: Heb. tribute of men}
And he sent
<07971> (8799)
them to Lebanon
<03844>_,
ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
a month
<02320>
by courses
<02487>_:
a month
<02320>
they were in Lebanon
<03844>_,
[and] two
<08147>
months
<02320>
at home
<01004>_:
and Adoniram
<0141>
[was] over the levy
<04522>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
had threescore and ten
<07657>
thousand
<0505>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
burdens
<05449>_,
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505>
hewers
<02672> (8802)
in the mountains
<02022>_;
Beside the chief
<08269>
of Solomon's
<08010>
officers
<05324> (8737)
which [were] over the work
<04399>_,
three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
and three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>_,
which ruled
<07287> (8802)
over the people
<05971>
that wrought
<06213> (8802)
in the work
<04399>_.
And the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)_,
and they brought
<05265> (8686)
great
<01419>
stones
<068>_,
costly
<03368>
stones
<068>_,
[and] hewed
<01496>
stones
<068>_,
to lay the foundation
<03245> (8763)
of the house
<01004>_.
And Solomon's
<08010>
builders
<01129> (8802)
and Hiram's
<02438>
builders
<01129> (8802)
did hew
<06458> (8799)
[them], and the stonesquarers
<01382>_:
so they prepared
<03559> (8686)
timber
<06086>
and stones
<068>
to build
<01129> (8800)
the house
<01004>_.
